A hayride wagon is going down a spooky country road at 15 m/s when a Scarecrow appears in the roadway. The man at the wheel of t
1 answer:
Answer:
d = 68.18 m
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial velocity, u = 15 m/s
Finally it comes to stop, v = 0
Acceleration, a = -1.65 m/s²
Time, t = 2.5 s
We need to find the distance covered by the hayride before coming to a stop. Let d is the distance covered. Using third equation of motion to find it :
So, the hayride will cover a distance of 68.18 m.

1) In a circular motion, the angular displacement 
is given by
where S is the arc length and r is the radius. The problem says that the truck drove for 2600 m, so this corresponds to the total arc length covered by the tire:
. Using the information about the radius, 
, we find the total angular displacement:
2) If we put larger tires, with radius
, the angular displacement will be smaller. We can see this by using the same formula. In fact, this time we have:
where S is the arc length and r is the radius. The problem says that the truck drove for 2600 m, so this corresponds to the total arc length covered by the tire:
2) If we put larger tires, with radius
